backhanded compliment

What might at first sound like a compliment but could/should really be taken as an insult when considered in its entirety.

The Republican Senator would never desecrate the holy institution of marriage by voting to allowing gays to wed; just ask his ex.

Backhanded Insult

A compliment couched in the form or tone of an insult. Often used by people who *want* to be nice, but fear being seen as weak or disingenuous, but can be unintentional.

When Maurice told Mary she was "the least photogenic pretty chick" he'd ever seen, he meant that pictures didn't do her beauty justice, but it came off as a backhanded insult.

fabulous faggot backhand-snap

A way to snap the fingers where, at the beginning of the snap, your hand is directly in front of you and, by the end of the snap, your hand has been swung (or 'waved') toward the outside. (For example, the right hand is swung toward the right). The swing and snap are simultaneous.

Sometimes (usually?) done the the other hand placed on the hip. This snap is done particularly well by gay people. Thus the name. NOTE: not usually a snap used to accompany music but rather, to emphasize a point.

"Girl! Just LOOK at this apartment! You couldn't even clean it was a tactical nuclear weapon! You're gonna need a genie to just (fabulous faggot backhand-snap, here) snap his fingers, to clean this mess!"

Marinara Backhand

During anal sex between a man and a woman on her period, the woman currently using a tampon, the man turns her around, rips the tampon out of her vagina and in one fluid motion smacks her in the face with it.

Terry: "Dude, I finally had sex with Emily last night!"
Isaac: "But isn't she on her period?"
Terry: "Yeah, I totally got to pull off a marinara backhand!"

toongabbie backhander

(Australian Slang - Western suburbs)... Reverse hand masturbation. Where the crevice created by the thumb and forefinger becomes the entry point for the bulbous member. Quite common in the western suburbs in Sydney (wanking capital of the world).

I wanted to try something different the other night. Mrs Palmer suggested a Toongabbie Backhander.
